Well, that other part has nothing to do with you, so, when you say
"this argument," it could be taken in one of two ways.

It's a nice site.

late now - there's not much more substance to this thread.

Just to flame? That's not really very interesting. alt.flame is the

your side - do they flame like that in those groups?

Flaming for the sake of flaming seems kind of weak. Something a

Precisely why more than one person had a go at you for posting a link to a
dicussion mentioning that the 5-cylinder diesels were now discontinued, and
telling me that I should count the number of cylinders, and by doing so I
would be able to tell whether the engine had 4 or 6 cylinders. All in
response to a question about 5-cylinder engines, which happen to be no
longer available in new Audis.

And can I suggest spelling lessons for you - it's "curriculum".

If, by the word "precisely," you mean "not at all like."

The fundemental difference is this: your info was of zero value. To
anyone. Why? Becaue it was completely incorrect, not based on fact,
and totally without merit. My info, OTOH, was just not helpful to
your situation. It *was* accurate, and true.

So was mine - a chip and an uprated head gasket would have upped the power.
All I missed out was a forged crankshaft and an uprated turbo. Sorry about
that. Can't see how it was anything to do with you anyway - you didn't ask
that question.

Well you did, as that link you posted specifically stated that the
5-cylinder diesel engines had been discontinued. Did you not even read the
contents of the page you linked to? And it was fairly obvious it was to do
with 5-cylinder engines, as it was contained in the subject line.

Ah, Peter, that is a nice attempt at spin. *If* you had actually said
that, I would have agreed with you. But that's *not* the whole story,
now is it?

Intercooler? Exhaust? You *still* don't have it right, even after
all the info has been posted innumerable times!

I am simply amazed at your lack of anything resembling knowledge.

Somehow, I think that you're not sorry at all.

So what? What part of "alt" don't you get? Here's another clue for
the terminally clue-proof: if you don't want your comments seen by
the public, with the potential for response, send them by e-mail.
